it's funny how animals can affect us in ways humans never will.In the last 5 years I have lost two grandparents..my stepfather..two uncles...and Buddy Guy.
To this day thinking about that big gump makes me more emotional than anyone or anything I have lost,including my marriage.

People who don't have pets could never relate...he meant more to me than 99% of the people I have known or met and all of us pet owners have had that *one* special friend....Buddy Guy was mine.

For me it was Buddy greeting me when he knew I had a rough day at work.After I showered I would lay down on the couch and he would wait for the ok to pounce on me and baby me....licking my face and laying on me.....215 pounds of dog pouncing leaves a mark btw.A St.Bernard doesn't play when it's time for hugs
